According to its index, India has the worst ranking among BRICS
(Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries.

The rating has been analysed on the basis of four measurable
factors – the material means to live comfortably in retirement; access to
quality financial services to help preserve savings value & maximize
income; access to quality health services; and a clean & safe environment.

Surprisingly, while India has ranked the lowest in each measurable
factor of GRI, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland topped the rankings
respectively.

As compared to the last year, India has the same ranking as it
stands 43rd in this year's GRI ranking.

International Monetary Fund (IMF) advanced economies, members of
the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the BRICS
countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) have been included over the index
ranking of 43 countries.
